I noticed the same thing in a family text group, where the message indicated that I removed a family member! I did not remove anyone. I called Apple Support and the person I spoke with confirmed this appears to be a recent problem. The Apple Support person also confirmed that I only have rights to add new people, but the group owner, my younger brother, is the only person who can remove people.

Honestly, it is more than a bit upsetting that an Apple error incorrectly identified me as the person who removed a family member! I opened a case with Apple for follow-up.

iPhone 15 Pro with ios 17.4.1 (latest ios version available at this time).

This appears to be a serious database error on Apple’s part, or perhaps they are turning untrained DBA’s loose on a production database!

@SaravenKra — You wrote: “Anyone in a group iMessage can add or remove someone from the conversation.”

That’s not true as confirmed by Apple when I reported a similar issue as the person who started this thread. I can add new people, but Apple Support confirmed that only a group owner can remove people.

Smartphones lack both the inherent intelligence and the capability for malicious intent. Therefore, it becomes imperative for us to pay close attention to our device settings and the manner in which we synchronize our smartphones with Mac/PC/iCloud. Additionally, we must exercise caution when sharing sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.

Be careful when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.

Thumb Rules:

1. Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
2. Don't share Apple IDs
3. Don't Jailbreak
4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
5. Don't give in to Phishing
6. Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
7. Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.

Add or remove someone from a group conversation

Anyone in a group iMessage can add or remove someone from the conversation. You can remove a person from a group iMessage that has at least three other people. You can’t add or remove people from group MMS messages or group SMS messages.

Types of group messages

The three types of group messages that you might see are: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on you and your recipients' settings, network connection, and carrier plan. For example:

• If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage.
• If you send a group message to people who aren't using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message.

I am in a group chat of ~27 people and one of the members added a bunch of people. Around 5 minutes later it said that I removed them from the group chat when I didn’t do any such thing or was not using my phone at that time. How/why did that happen and did that appear on everyone else’s screen or only mine?

This just happened to me today I’m in a group chat & this morning it’s saying that I removed somebody and now they are having problems with me . This is weird
